Teaching Academy

Brown Bag Discussions

Brown Bag discussions are designed to explore and disseminate best practices for helping educators teach students effectively and efficiently in both classroom and clinical environment. Brown bags also include a CVM “Journal Club” whose goals are to cooperatively explore the literature on teaching and learning, disseminate knowledge and ideas to teaching faculty, and thereby foster experimentation and innovation in the curriculum. Below are a list of past discussions that the Teaching Academy has hosted:
